    I would aver that in such a situation, Maria-B is entirely correct, and that patriotism is unacceptable FOR THOSE WHO REALIZE OUR SITUATION...


    Hogwash.  There is still a duty to love your patria.  Was ancient Rome less corrupt?  Were the Martyrs of those days just ignorant of their situation?

    • Raoul,

    Have your ever read Bp Sanborn's comments about the USA, the founding thereof, what it means to be a patriot, etc?  If not, you would likely profit from them.  Look up his article "The Cult of Liberty", as it is excellent.

    • What I would like to know is what allegiance do I owe a country that I have no heritage in except the past 150 years or so? Im not AngloSaxon, my ancestors have no association with the "Founding Fathers" and my parents are direct descendants of vassals of Catholic monarchs whom their families served until their land was annexed and confiscated (Mexican American War) or they were forced to relocate during the (post WWI Austria), and all this government has done the past century and a half is steal from my family, (temporally, spiritually, and most of all, culturally). What does an Austrian/Spaniard who wants to foster the traditions of his people and pass down those gifts to his children (if he ever has any  :wink: ) owe the the USA who is determined to rob him and his descendants of their Spanish cultural identity?

    Until then....
